First Ever Visit to the Zoo

Last week we had a great opportunity to take Escher to the zoo. Given his extreme infatuation with animals these days, we all knew that the zoo was going to be a special experience for him.



We saw many birds of different colors.

We told them "tweet tweet!"

We saw "ah-ahs." This particular one was contemplating the universe when we strolled by.

Or maybe he was eyeing up that ice cream cookie sandwich. Good thing there was glass between them!

We saw Escher's beloved "gaf." In fact, there were "TWO GAFS!!!!"

We caught "-bra" snacking on some grass.

We all agreed that the surprise of the day was how Escher reacted to the rhino. "INNO" has become a big part of Escher's life in the past few days! We brought several of Escher's Little People Animal Zoo animals with us and he ended up carrying around the Rhino for the rest of the day.

That looks really, really uncomfortable...

"Hi!"

What weird tongue!

We saw "wahs"...

Boy, that zebra was hungry. He ate the whole time we were there!

This guy was pretty cool. Escher liked watching his tongue dart out of its mouth.

For the record... Thats an iron rhino :-)

There was a wrought iron jail thing at the zoo, and this was the sign posted in front of it. The door was open and you could go in and pretend to be an exhibit. My only question is.... why is there a picture of a beaver on the sign for humans?

Aren't these the cutest little things?

This one looked pretty disgruntled. Camera shy, maybe?

The funniest thing was, Escher kept screaming "DANCE!" to the animals. I guess since his animals dance on TV he expected the real life ones to dance too!
